Congrats to the Indiana Hoosiers. 1st time they’ve won the Big 10 in 80 years !

 

[vtrap90]

Game of the night for sure between Duke and va

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Oh my lmao apparently Duke did it after I gave up and thought they choked!

CCGs may be cooked after this, but this is a heck of a way for it to end.

 

[GoDuke]

LETS GO DUKE!!! Now what’s the playoff committee going to do??

 

[NCSNOW]

Miami beat ND. Should go ahead of them. Jmu should go in. Higher ranked. Stick with way you drew it up. Glad Duke won!

 

[hendrik]

duke football taking years off my life as per usual lmao.

unbelievable.

If you didn't watch Duke football all year you just don't know how close this team was to winning those 5 games they lost. Huge Huge win tonight. Will get a great bowl game no matter what. Looking forward to getting another win to wrap up the season. This team has heart and doesn't give up. Great job by Diaz and crew.

Losing to Illinois 45-19 doesn’t sound close

Go back and watch it and you might have a little common sense before you speak. The score doesn't all ways tell the tell of the game.

I was there and that entire game turned on that special teams sub penalty in the third.

Almost like our entire season did when yall were allowed to jump 2 yards offside then picked Bailey off when we were up 21-3 getting ready to score again. Our season went to sh** after that play imo

They still lost the 5 games. Good win last night, but no CFP bid. I think Miami may get in over Notre Dame though.

Likely rankings:

1. Indiana
2. Ohio State
3. Georgia
4. Texas Tech

5. Oregon
6. Ole Miss
7. Texas A&M
8. Oklahoma
9. Notre Dame
10. Alabama
11. Tulane
12. James Madison

What I think it should be:

1. Georgia (beat every team on schedule, by far the best strength of schedule and record of the top 4, best composite talent besides Ohio State
2. Indiana (72nd in composite talent, will not make it through a three team playoff with real competition)
3. Texas Tech
4. Ohio State

5. Ole Miss
6. Texas A&M
7. Oregon
8. Oklahoma
9. Alabama
10. Miami
11. Tulane
12. Duke

Duke, unranked before yesterday’s game and with 5 losses and in a mediocre ACC conference, has virtually no chance. I’d say the same if it were GT.

True. Im sorta wondering if Bama's 3rd loss will kick them out, but probably not since they beat Georgia in Athens.

I agree that Ohio State will be ranked ahead of Georgia even though I think that it’s stupid. Their only common opponent was Texas and Georgia destroyed Texas while Ohio State barely beat Texas. Also Georgia dominated and beat the only team they lost to. Georgia has a tougher strength of schedule and Georgia has beaten more teams in the top 25 than Ohio State has. But the committee is in love with Ohio State for some reason.

The fact that Sagarin has Georgia at number 6 is laughable. They even have Indiana behind Ohio State even though Indiana just beat them ?

I think they might put Georgia at 2. They're number 2 in the new poll. We'll see. Show is on now.

No they will put Georgia 3. They are in love with Ohio State.

Punishing a team for playing in a conference game is a precedent I hope isn’t set.

Bama should be in. If they are kicked out I think teams in the future could opt out of the conference championship.

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

If it were me Notre Dame is left out. Miami is in because they beat Notre Dame. Bama is in because they played in the SEC Championship.

Fernando Mendoza is so likeable. His post-game interview was epic.

I totally agree !

Bama and Miami made it!

Indiana
Ohio St.
Georgia
Texas Tech

Oregon
Mississippi
Texas A&M
Oklahoma

Alabama
Miami
Tulane
JMU

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

Bama and Miami made it!

As they should

 

[JP152]

I think they got it right. I would love for the format to change, however. It should just be the top 12 teams, regardless of Conference. And make it a 16 team playoff instead of 12.

 

[vtrap90]

Notre Dame should be in over Miami. Sid from ice age in his 7th year in college is just gonna throw more picks and then blame someone else for his short comings.

 

[BullCityWx]

If we had only handled our business at UConn and when Georgia Tech tried to hand that game at Wallace Wade on a silver platter.

I agree. I want them to go to 16 teams.

Miami beat Notre Dame. You can’t put in Notre Dame over Miami.

 

[JP152]

Yeah, true. Notre Dame probably feels the same way.

 

[vtrap90]

Miami beat Notre Dame. You can’t put in Notre Dame over Miami.

Yes you can, they lost by 3 points in week 1, Notre Dame is the better team. Florida State spanked Alabama week 1, why is Alabama still in? This selection committee is ridiculous.

Beautiful snow game in Buffalo

Anyone who watched that game knows Miami dominated the game. The final score doesnt always tell the whole story.
